How to change color of selected text?

[jamesaw668]

I want to change the color of the currently selected text so that it is white. How would I do this?

Using the CSS Reference Guide I have been able to change the colour of the selection rectangle from the default blue but cannot find a way to change the color of text in the bounds of this selection. I want this to be set regardless of the underlying style set by my code.

For example, the JavaKeywordsDemo sets the color of the keyword "final" to purple & it remains purple when selected. I want it to turn white when selected (along with any other non-keyword text in the selection) but become purple again when the selection is removed.

I think this is due to a JavaFX bug, see PR #428 Fix -fx-highlight-text-fill (selected text color)
